I thought you'd like the tweed moto It's a fun piece, though it's a bit oversized so I'm still kind of struggling with it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-902405 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:48:19 +0000 catgirl 902405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, the tweed jacket might be one of my favorite of your wardrobe items! &nbsp;And I love the neon necklace which I saw in person. &nbsp;You are just a rock star. &nbsp;Like Angie, can't decide what I like best although your shorts outfits always steal my rebel heart. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-902390 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:31:53 +0000 Aida 902390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh my, thank you all for the lovely comments!! You ladies sure know how to start a gal's week off right ^^ Some global requested item info:<ul><li>The tweed/leather&nbsp;jacket in #3 is by Helene Berman, bought at Nordstrom this past December (2012).</li><li>The cream faux-leather&nbsp;vest in #4 is a recent purchase from H&amp;M, it might be still available.</li><li>The cream leather&nbsp;booties in #2/5 are Ciao Bella “Glorious”, bought at Sears several years ago. Sears seems to restock them from time to time, and they come&nbsp;in various neutral shades.</li></ul>Suz, yes! I have been working on "unstructured structure" since last summer and feel like I've&nbsp;got a good handle on it for myself, glad to hear you think so too.&nbsp;It feels like a very natural place for my style to go, especially in spring/summer.&nbsp;I think the hat coupled with my curls in #4 is giving it the 30's vibe.<br /><br />Ingunn, Kelly, and Shevia&nbsp;thank you for the extra detailed comments, I really appreciate your insights!<br /><br />Kiwichik, your magazine comment here and on my other thread makes me smile like mad :)<br /><br />Angie, well that might be my best grade ever! I am blushing over here, thanks so much&nbsp;^^ Last year I feel like I was still&nbsp;sorting and&nbsp;settling into my spring/summer style preferences, especially with the experimentation of adding "softness". This year I'm going into the season feeling pretty good! Although, I still need less jeans and more trousers. And slouchy long shorts!<br /><br />Deborah, I'm 5'3" (close to your height I think?). I am wearing 2.5-3" heels in #2 (can't recall the exact height), and will note&nbsp;these pants <i>always</i> get worn with heels. There are a lot of things going on to avoid squatness in this look: the lower contrast shoe coupled with the long pointed toe helps mitigate the width/volume, and&nbsp;I am also shortening my torso by wearing a semi-cropped jacket which gives additional optical&nbsp;leg length to further elongate the look. For flat booties I think the key trick will be to&nbsp;go&nbsp;low contrast, either at the shoe/hem or by wearing a column of color. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901911 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:45:03 +0000 Lisa 901911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You really rock those lighter colors but my favorite is that red sweater in #2.&nbsp; That's a superb color on you.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901459 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:30:34 +0000 Kari 901459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First of all, may I say that you look absolutely darling in the beret?<br /><br />I'm in love with your jacket from #3. &nbsp;Fit, texture... oh, it's all perfect. &nbsp;I can see this being a very versatile piece for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901228 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 06:46:21 +0000 CocoLion 901228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This was a really good week. &nbsp;I too like the pooling hems look, as long as you're ok with what they do to the bottoms of&nbsp;light pants.<br /><br />I love your neon necklace, I think I remember it from last season. &nbsp;It is so fab because it's not too much and not too little.<br /><br />Your shirt in #1 is very fab, perfect fit and drape.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901224 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 06:38:04 +0000 Deborah 901224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another inspiring post. &nbsp;Oh to be able to wear shorts like you do :)<br /><br />Aida remind me how tall you are please. &nbsp; &nbsp;I did a version of #2 some weeks back in black and white with flat bootie, i liked it but felt 'squat'. &nbsp;Are you wearing a heel? &nbsp;It's a silhouette I would like to make work, particularly with the&nbsp;<b>flat&nbsp;</b>booties.<br /><br />Im quite fond of your look in #4, it's a little quirky and you carry it off very well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901188 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 04:28:32 +0000 Marley 901188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh wow!&nbsp; I've got a big grin on my face after looking at your week of outfits.&nbsp; Numbers 1 and 5 have me "plotting" how someone my age can copy those looks.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; Also, what is the cropped jacket in #3, the vest in #4, and the shoes in #2?&nbsp; I love those items!&nbsp; I'm with you on the length of the trousers - especially light colored ones - they just gotta' drag a little bit!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing Aida - so great to see you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901166 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 03:41:21 +0000 Debora 901166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stellar week, Aida! Your outfits are always such a treat. I honestly can not pick a favorite.&nbsp;<i></i><i>Thank you</i> so much for sharing! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901104 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 02:11:02 +0000 amiable 901104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Of course they're all fabulous, but I especially love&nbsp;the orange in #2, and the gold with black in #3! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901072 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:42:48 +0000 Sarah A 901072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am just in awe once again of your stupendous looks. A brilliantly brilliant week! I thought I was so not a plaid gal but #5! Plaid and neon and white. Oh my! #2, 3 are also favorites. I am going to have to do some pinning... thanks for sharing your inspirational looks once again. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-901058 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:20:55 +0000 Jaime 901058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow. Just wow. There is not one outfit I don't love, and not one that doesn't show some sort of just right way of doing something. #2 is an example that could be described simply: trousers, sweater,&nbsp;blazer but the sum is so much greater than the parts. Or perhaps each part is so exactly right in the details. Also love the jacket in #3, the dress with the vest, the perfect fit white jeans, the slouch shorts. Ok then, not just wow and not just right,&nbsp;add&nbsp;just gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900965 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:09:29 +0000 kellygirl 900965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh, what a treat! I am thrilled to see your vest and dress in 4. I love the moto and the knit cap--such fun additions! You have such an amazing sense of style, Aida! Every one of these is so cool in its own way. My faves aside for 4 are 2 and 5. I love the colors and silhouette of 2 and I die over the addition of the neon necklace in 5. Both brilliant. I would gush some more if I wasn't on my phone. Love your outfits and so excited to see you wear the twin dress!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900638 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:19:37 +0000 Angie 900638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *waving at my clutch and shirt twin*<br /><br />Is it possible that your style is even <i><b>more</b></i> killer than last year? It is!!! Because you're wacking it out of the ball park, Aida! With like an A+++++.&nbsp;<br /><br />I can't choose a favourite outfit. Sometimes minimal. Sometimes maximal. Always a little '70s but just as Modern.&nbsp;You have KILLER style. End of story. It is an absolute pleasure looking at your outfits and fun poses https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900616 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:53:58 +0000 Day Vies 900616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 2&amp;3 are my favorites! I am so jealous that you can wear shorts even with hoes -- it's just too cold here.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900577 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:37:38 +0000 Anonymous 900577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh I don't know where to start! I love how you wear shorts so well as in #1. 2 i adore your wide trousers and the bright sweater, 3 showcases that fab jacket, love it!, 4 has a hint of playfulness and retro and 5 is easy and relaxed. Thanks for brightening my day https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900547 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:16:25 +0000 Karie 900547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the wide leg slouchy trousers, and I agree with you on the length - I like mine extra long - it gives them that '60's long bell-bottom vibe, I think. Where did you get the jacket in #3? I like the fabric print and the sleeves. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900506 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:23:02 +0000 goldenpig 900506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all so fab, Aida. You look like a fashion model in all of them and I love the creativity of all of these. And #3 is to die for!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900503 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:19:57 +0000 Kiwichik 900503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG getting the new magazine feeling twice in one day - be still my beting heart . Fab outfits in love with #1. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900478 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 06:15:38 +0000 Ingunn 900478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #1! You have a wonderful tomboy-ish flair in that one which is so fab. I also adore the white and orange in #2, really cool. I wouldn't have worn my pants that long, but it looks great on your long legs. #3 is fantastic. I love it as it is, but I'm sure you'll find other more summery shoes for this, too. Great clutch! #4 is very cute, and I love the hat! Interesting texture on the hose. #5 This is very you, and very trendy. LOVE the neon here! I can't wait to find flower clusters here, too, our ground is more or less covered with heavy, stone-frozen snow. A great week of outfits, Aida. Now I need to start planning my own for next week. Have we got the final selection of posters yet? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900471 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:52:56 +0000 Sveta 900471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning week, Aida! I cannot even select a favorite. Actually I am going to pin quite a few now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900380 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:47:07 +0000 Lantana 900380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for sharing, I always gain so much from your posts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900369 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:25:50 +0000 rae 900369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, it is starting to feel like spring! Seriously loving all the white here. The top-down outfit gradient is clever - relieves the need to balance/bookend all the colors, yet it still looks intentional and put-together. You <i>should</i> be the poster child for the slouchy trend - I bet those posters would sell the look to everyone! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900330 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:20:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 900330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE LOVE LOVE #2!!!<br /><br />And I'm drooling over seeing green and plant life - we're still under snow. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900325 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:16:42 +0000 merwoman 900325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a pleasure viewing your outfits Aida!<br />In particular, I love the monochrome look of #1, and the playfulness of #5. And looks like those flowers just wanted in on the photo shoot - perfect accessory! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900273 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:27:41 +0000 Suz 900273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Every single one of these has the "unstructured structure" that Angie has been talking about. SO 2013!! I love the shorts outfit, so relaxed and subtly textured. And wow, that white clutch is fantastic. What a useful item.&nbsp;<br /><br />The dress look reminds me somehow of the 30s....and the 90s....not sure why. I have a pair of textured nude tights like that, too!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900230 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:50:58 +0000 Caro in Oz 900230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF. I particularly like the pants suit - you look very stylish yet still relaxed. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900229 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:49:31 +0000 Tanya 900229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You can do no wrong Aida! &nbsp;Love everything, but am head-over-heels for #1 and #3. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900228 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:48:36 +0000 pil 900228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 2 and 4 are standouts for me, Aida. I love that orange sweater, the soft pants&nbsp;and the shades of white in 2 and that hat in 4 is jaunty fun! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0401-05#post-900223 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:43:24 +0000 Neelie 900223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfits!&nbsp; I love your jacket in #3!&nbsp; Where is it from?
